Title: Mafia Lingo/Dictionary
Post by: Insomniac on November 06, 2012, 02:19:30 pm
People have wanted this for a while so I'll just start with the ones I know and I'll keep this post updated as people comment more of them

SK (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=SK) - Serial Killer
NK - Night Kill (Rarely No Kill based on context)
QH (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Quickhammer) - Quickhammer
WW - Werewolf (on f.DS these are common only if there is multiple factions)

Commonly Used Terms
Bus -Building a case on your teammates and often voting for your teammates as scum
Sheep - to vote or argue without adding content of your own. (in reference to sheeplike (unoriginal) thinking.)
Tunnel: to develop tunnel vision on a player and see anything they do as scummy
ObvX - obviously X (e.g. obvtown = obviously town)
Breadcrumb - Leaving a hint at what your role is (or to set up a fakeclaim) in a post
Claim - to announce all of or parts of ones role
Massclaim - Everyone claiming their role in an order, normally to try and catch scum in a lie

F.DS Specific
Derphammer - Quickhammering as town, on town in a situation that doesn't benefit town
PINL - Promise I'm Not Lying
Twinclaim - the fact that you know another player in real life; and also deriving information from that fact. - First instance is Jo/Glooble in MIV
Pulling/Doing an eHunt - drunk posting often in a hilarious way. See MVI
DAMA - Drunk ask me anything, see Pulling/Doing an eHunt.
Pulling a Bozzball - Lurking oneself out of a game, from either faction. Generally caused by an apathetic attitude towards the game rather than a planned (or even unplanned!) strategy
Kickball - See Pulling/Doing an eHunt
No Lunch - Started as a phone typo by Axxle in BM3, turned into a joke by the mod and players of that game, means no lynch but tends to result in hungry mafia players.
S.H.D - Stop Halt Desist.

The "Morgrim Defense" - In his first game here (M2) Morgrim self hammered, since then he has raised his meta as someone who is always just a bit crazy and always seems super scummy. The Morgrim defense is that crazy Morgrim is town Morgrim. This forum has not yet seen scum Morgrim.

Pulling an Insomniac - Depending on context either, having the right lynch and talking yourself out of it and into a town lynch, or as an IC voting for someone you think as town in an attempt to catch the hammer...in a game where mafia have day chat.

Mom Salon - Refers to player Mcmcsalot, comes from a phone autocorrect in ZMIX.

Fuzzy - Refers to Eevee

Isn't lylo rather lynch or lose, referring to situation where town needs to lynch someone to avoid getting endgamed?

Derphammering is a term specific to this forum. I'ts hard to describe (should probably ask O, the master), but cutting the discussion short by quickhammering someone would be my attempt.
Title: Re: Mafia Lingo/Dictionary
Post by: Cuzz on November 06, 2012, 02:26:12 pm
I'd say PINL ("promise I'm not lying") is specific to this forum.

SK - Serial Killer

On LyLo - you might want to mention that players have to Lynch correctly.
Title: Re: Mafia Lingo/Dictionary
Post by: Jorbles on November 06, 2012, 04:03:47 pm
also worth defining the use of:
-to bus: attacking your team mates as scum to make it look like you're not on their team
-to sheep: to vote or argue without adding content of your own. (in reference to sheeplike (unoriginal) thinking.)
-to tunnel: to develop tunnel vision on a player and see anything they do as scummy
-obvX: obviously X (e.g. obvtown = obviously town)

Breadcrumb?

WW=Werewolf?

Massclaim?
Title: Re: Mafia Lingo/Dictionary
Post by: Lekkit on November 08, 2012, 04:42:30 am
Breadcrumb is to intentionally plant something erlier in the day or in days before, so that it can be picked up later in the game to reinforce a claim of a role or an action.

Werewolf is a flavour mafia, often used when there are two mafia factions. One "regular" and one "werewolf" faction.

Massclaim is when all or most of the players in a set up claims their role.

Which reminds me. Claim - To announce one's role or parts of it.

perhaps something about card name or card role in the fds portion. We have a lot of games that are dominion flavored and as such many games have roles that are styled after a dominion card and given the name of the card.

This is why IC is a good role for him - which brings us back to our original point before he started editing everybodies post: "Pulling an Insomniac" - being drunk with the power of IC, and voting a"known" townie to entice scum into trying a quickhammer - just to forget that scum has daychat and can coordinate the lynch, preventing you from "catching" them.

Always a classic movie.

So was Forget Paris - although I think I lean slightly towards WHMS.

Aww, c'mon. He's adorable in a completely and utterly cheesy way. Nobody has ever taken him seriously (I hope) but that doesn't make him bad.

And he WAS spectacular in The Princess Bride - although his role was rather small.

Now see, Hugh Grant? Can't stand him.

Don't really like the new generation of Franco/Hathaway either though.

What can I say? They just don't make 'em like they used to! Give me Laurel and Hardy any day.

Honestly though, I'll sit down and watch almost anything from 1905 - 1940 in a heartbeat. Very little that I don't just absolutely love from those years - and that spans all genres of movies.

By the 50's to 60's I start to get a little more selective in my tastes. While there are certainly good movies from the 70's, it just wasn't my era. 80's (when I was born) movies are as varied as they are today, but there was a lot that I enjoy from there. Early 90's were good too. By the time you reach the last 18ish years there hasn't been what I've felt are spectacular story telling movies.

Great actors are secondary to me, and I think the industry cares too much about the cinematic spectacular these days. A good, solid, well told story is just so much harder to find (not impossible. They DO still make good films, but story as an art in movies seems to be slipping).

Obviously that's all VERY generic and unfair to break up or categorize movies by year of release, but it's -generally- how I feel. (That is, "year" is never a determining factor in my choice to watch a movie or feel any level of enjoyment towards it.)

/tag to watch the thread so the thread appears in your "new replies to your posts", but you aren't actually in the game.

I do it a lot for games that I can't play in, but want to keep track of for stat purposes or for general entertainment.
